A new collection of work is starting to take shape! While the summer temperatures have kept creeping up and up, I’ve been spending plenty of time seeking both shade and water for my dog Ray on our daily excursions. Fortunately, some of these shady spots have revealed exquisite little pockets of light and texture when sun and water combine in ever-changing combinations. By experimenting with exposure times and focal lengths, I’ve had a few happy accidents where the water starts to become pure texture and surface in a completely abstract way. The best of these transcend their humble subjects to become something very painterly and, if I may, quite fluid in their appearance. I hope to continue on this series for some time to come!
